This book addresses the many avenues that are still left unexplored
when it comes to our understanding of the First World War in the
Low Countries. With the ongoing the centenary of the Great War,
many events have been organized in the United Kingdom to
commemorate its military events, its socio-political consequences,
and its cultural legacy. Of these events, very few have paid
attention to the fates of Belgium or the Netherlands, even though
it was the invasion of Belgium in August 1914 that was the catalyst
for Great Britain declaring war. The occupation of Belgium had
long-term consequences for its people, but much of the military and
social history of the Western Front concentrates on northern
France, and the Netherlands is largely forgotten as a nation
affected by the First World War. By opening the field beyond the
military and beyond the front, this collection explores the
interdisciplinary and international nature of the Great War.
